Answer 2

## Step 1 The first sentence is "She made her famous lasagna, not chicken cutlets, this time." The phrase "not chicken cutlets" is a parenthetical expression, which is a phrase that can be removed from the sentence without changing its basic meaning. The commas are correctly placed before and after this phrase. ## Step 2 The second sentence is "We also ate homemade not store-bought, bread." The phrase "not store-bought" is a parenthetical expression. The comma is correctly placed before this phrase, but it should also be placed after it to correctly separate it from the rest of the sentence. ## Step 3 The third sentence is "You are lucky, indeed, to have a grandmother who is a wonderful cook." The phrase "indeed" is a parenthetical expression. The commas are correctly placed before and after this phrase. ## Step 4 The fourth sentence is "She has decided, however, to clean her entire apartment first." The phrase "however" is a parenthetical expression. The comma is correctly placed before this phrase, but it should also be placed after it to correctly separate it from the rest of the sentence. ## Step 5 The fifth sentence is "If I were you Emma I would consider taking that job." The phrase "Emma" is a parenthetical expression. The sentence should have a comma after "you" and before "Emma" to correctly separate it from the rest of the sentence.
